YSaC, Vol. 1158: MError, MError, in the log.
im looking to barter a ((big)) kids kitchen set–the fake kitchen for children. and not one of those cheap little ones thay sell now and i think i have some dishes and silverware and odds and ends that i will throw in if i can find that stuff… and a pink kids makeup table and chair with the hair dryer thing thay lower onto there head like at the saloneand a merror and i think they all play some kind of music—i think….. Any child would love this under there tree. i know times are hard so im looking to trade this for some kids wii games. for my 9 yr old daughter. these are not for sale im looking for a trade…so email me the games you have. or mabe some man toys,, id love a project motocycle– a street bike
So, all of these things apparently play some kind of music. The kitchen plays music. The dishes play music. The makeup table plays music. The merror plays music.
What kind of music does a merror play, anyway? Well, it turns out MERROR is an error message returned by the SAS statistical analysis package, so I suppose the music is just whatever your standard system error beep is. And this makeup table makes that noise.
I know when I was a child, I would like that under my tree. A makeup table that emits the Windows system beep. I would, however, have known how to spell “their.”
I would have also known I’m not likely to be able to trade a kitchen set for a motorcycle.
Thanks for the post, Greg!
If Sparky wants to trade for motorized “man toys” for a project, I think I have a broken lawnmower.
The mower, the merror.
I have a meerkat, is that a man toy?
I’m old fashioned – I prefer my man toys not to be motorized.
I was thinking of a totally different kind of man toy that is in fact motorized.
*corner*
I read it as “man parts” in Adam Baldwin’s voice.
im looking to barter a ((big)) run-on sentence and an ellipsis family fun pack and some abused parentheses and commas for some capital letters. or mabe some apostrophes. i dont think they play any kind of music.
Not even that kind? Sounds boreng.
Best phase today: “ellipsis family fun pack”. Snort.
(o/t whine) My office is so cold today that I didn’t even have to put my generic-caffeine-free-sugar-free-soda in the community fridge. They’re (or thay’re) frosty just from sitting on my desk. Handy!
It’s a free company benefit. 8)
You are not reading this correctly… “times are hard…” especially for a certain cartoon mouse. If you think typing with a coffee cup is hard, try using over-sized hands with only 4 fingers and wearing white gloves, that is why all the misspellings. This is obviously Mickey clearing out one of his many storage units, this one of course is filled with the magical items that played background in Fantasia. Picture all the above, singing and dancing in a Conga line… I’ll wait, go ahead… picture it…… Now do you see what a deal this is?!?
It’s Erwin Schrödinger’s long-lost redneck relative, Sparky Schrödinger!
Will the items make music or won’t they? Can he find the random pieces or can’t he? Will the kitchen set be cobbled together out of old asbestos and string cheese or will it actually be a collection of used cardboard boxes?
Until such time as you actually observe Sparky’s items, they can be all of those things!
So let’s see now, the seller wants to trade this children’s kitchen set for some Wii games suitable for a 9 year old girl? And any child would love this play set under their tree, apparently any child other than his own child. So at first he seems kinda filled with Xmas spirit; trade one child’s toy for another type of child’s toy that we assume she will like better. Then some how the Xmas spirit escapes him completely and he decides to trade Susie’s stuff for toys for himself.
HO-HO-HO Merry XMAS!
I’ve got the perfect game that will keep them both busy… I’ve had it laying around the house and been looking to trade it for a box of random crap:
Grey’s Anatomy: The Video Game*
*Yes, this is real.
Man’s toy’s, eh? I think we have a Fischer Price My First Tool Kit around here that my son no longer uses. Maybe he’ll trade for that? I could use a new kitchen.
Unless Sparky is looking for the inflatable sort of man-toy.
I’ll be in the corner.
Susie: Daddy, why are you putting my Barbie’s Hair Salon in your truck?
Sparky: Suz, I got a great deal trading this for something. You don’t play with it anymore, right?
Choose Your Own Ending!
1. Susie pulls out a carton of gasoline and a match.
2. Susie notices something shiny and wanders off.
3. Susie calls Child Protective Services.
4. ????
5. Profit!
Where tree?
There! *points* There tree!
Not that there tree – it’s keeping my house from rolling into the creek!
That would be “crick”, thank you.
Spell-check kept trying to change it into “cricket”, I think I need to find one that speaks Southern.
Not entirely sure that’s southern, ghostie, though it may have been originally. I grew up in the northwest and there were places with “creek” in the name that were locally prounouced “crick.” Maybe it is just a rural designation.
It’s a yankee thing.
As observed by my southern hubby: ‘Crick’ is what you get in your neck, that there is a ‘creek’.
And crayfish are only found in the north. Down south, they have crawfish/mudbugs.
There are a few other words that he claims are mispronounced, but those are the two we argue about the most.
Are you sure? Because I suspect ghostie’s not a yankee … hmmm.
Nope. Not sure of any thing. I just hang out on the walls, here.
…licking yer eyeballs….
As a Native New Englander, we used ‘creek’ to refer to the body of water, and also used ‘crayfish’ as compared to crawdad or mudbug. It’s also soda rather than pop, aunt rhymes with flaunt, and pawn doesn’t rhyme with porn.
My relatives from the gulf call crayfish “snacks”. Urp.
My grandmother’s biggest pet peeve was the way we pronounced pecan, she insisted it should be puh-khan and not pee-can and would often tell us that “a pee can is what you keep under the bed, a puh-khan is a tree.”
(They are called “cole dranks” not sodas and crawdads are “bait”.)
It was “creek” in my area the Northwest, and we didn’t have a word for crayfish because we had an ocean and, frankly, it makes better crustaceans than the crayfish.
Oh, damn. Big slam on the crayfish outta nowhere.
I think “crick” comes from Michigan.
A kitchen and a makeup table under the tree? That would have to be one helluva tree!
Maybe the toys belong to Sparky, not his daughter, and he cannot fit on the chair, no matter how hard he tries and he still kind of likes the kitchen set but he keeps forgetting to pretend to turn off the stove when he leaves and he is afraid that it will start a pretend fire and he doesn’t have a fire truck in his toy box so he is probably better off trading them for some games to help his daughter forget about the time that Daddy cried because the pretend hair dryer got stuck on his head and it kept playing that song over and over again and then he had to use butter to pry the dryer off his head and it left a mark on his head that lasted for days and now he thinks maybe if he can’t get the wii games for his daughter, maybe he should get some man toys for himself.
Or maybe I have too vivid an imagination.
I’m guessing it’s the first thing, but with margarine. Sparky’s watching his pretend figure.
*asks Uncle Wiki what the fur is “thay”*
“The Red Wizards of Thay are a fictional organization and social class of evil aligned wizards in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. ”
*asks Uncle Webster*
“The Vietnamese word ‘Thầy’, meaning ‘master’ or “teacher'”.
*asks the Sparktionary*
Um, er. All the pages in this book are blank.
Regarding the Sparktionary, all the words are imaginary. Please rotate your Sparktionary 90° from the real axis and try again.
OT: Work beat me nearly to death last month, and I didn’t have enough time to snark early or often, and even when I did I had no energy for snark. I missed everyone, not to mention the corners and coffee slices.
Lola, I hope your New Year’s Resolutions include lots and lots of snark.
Seconded, thirded, and fourthed. Or is that quartered?
Beware the evil saloneand! Bow your heads before its mighty prow! Render unto it as tribute your hair dryers, makeup tables, and finest silverware, and play great songs of joy and merriment as you celebrate that the merror has spared you from your eternal torment and kitchen playset!
I tried to email him a Clue, but he didn’t get it…
That’s cause he couldn’t get a Life.
And that’s because he has a MONOPOLY on stupid.
Is that curable with an Operation?
No, Sorry.
Aw, Shucks and Ladders.
😉
The mind Boggles
You Hammy, are nothing but Trouble!
I’m board with this game.
Your joke is Parcheesi.
I’m more a Chess man, although I do like a good Backgammon.
The absolute Perfection of this thread makes it numero Uno.
Okay, everybody Go Fish!
I think you’re a little Rummy.
With all due credit to Hammy, how is there not a Baby Got Backgammon t-shirt available on the vast Internet wasteland of commerce?
The best cure for rummy is gin! And, uh, I had to Scrabble to get that one!
Really? I was making jokes like that back when I was still in my Cribbage.
Well, it just seemed such a Trivial Pursuit.
You’d have to be a Mastermind to make sense of that post.
Kelli, there is no such thing as too vivid an imagination. At least around here.
Or, apparently, in [Location], where all inanimate objects play music (or maybe that’s just because Sparquois forgot his meds again) and you can get wii games or motorcycles in exchange for your busted-ass old toy kitchen and make up table.
Maybe he forgot his meds, or maybe he’s had the A.I.T. surgery.

“Daddy, where’s my makeup table? I want to play fashion model. ”
“Nevermind that, come play Resident Evil. It’ll be fun.”
Play Grand Theft Auto and she can kill all the fashion models she wants! Providing that they’re whores.
All the inanimate objects play music? Did they happen to come from an enchanted castle in France?
Aaargh…
2012 can get no better – I was in the box yesterday! Thanks everyone ….. also for all the giggles today.
Yes, the box is a great way to start the year. Especially since the year is going to be so short, what with the apocalypse and all.
It must have been Caturday, tigprincess and Bianchi Sound were in the box! Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Whoville!
